-work properly:
+Several changes to the database have been made from 1.6:
-* A new "templatelinks" table tracks template inclusions.
-* A new "externallinks" table tracks URL links; this can be used by a
- mass spam-cleanup tool in the SpamBlacklist extension.
-* A new "jobs" table stores a queue of pages to update in the background; this
- is used to update links in including pages when templates are edited.
+* A new "langlinks" table tracks interlanguage links
+* A new "filearchive" table stores information on deleted files
+* A new "querycache_info" table stores information on query page updates
To ensure that these tables are filled with data, run refreshLinks.php after
the upgrade.
